I'm a huge fan of both fighters but mighty mouse doesn't really have alot of ways to win this fight. Picket showed us how johnson being undersized will harm him against the bigger 135ers. He is vulnerable to being tossed around because of his size. Its funny johnson has excellent take downs but his take down D needs improvement. Since pickett he hasn't been exposed because he's fought fighters with out wrestling backgrounds. (pace page kid and miguel). Now he's fighting one of the better wrestlers in the division. I expect cruz a big 135 to really toss johnson around thru out this fight. But to be fair johnson is a natural flyweight so from here on we shouldn't expect to much out of him.

Speed vs. Speed. This is going to be a ridiculous fight, and I could definitely see Mighty Mouse taking him down for 5 rounds. On the same token, I can see Dominick killing him on the feet and evading takedowns for 5 rounds.

I think Johnson will beat him.....any Avatar bets when the time comes i am in....

I'll take that one.

Dam I was all over that...50 -25 bet.. Cruzs reach will also help him sprawl...theres a reason this fight is free even as a title fight...This will be embarrassing....I actually think Torres Matched up way better...

Torres is vulnerable against the shorter guys who can get low qickly but the way Cruz stands that would be a great fight....

With Cruz's lateral movement that Demetrious' previous opponents haven't used to stop his speedy takedowns, his reach advantage, another level striking, and great TDD, it's hard to see this fight being close at all.

Demetrious: 14-21 Guard passes (He averages a pass for barely half of his TD's while his opponents average 3 passes per TD)Dominick: 8-0 Guard passes (Has not had an opponent pass his guard in 7 fights!)

Mighty Mouse is not a submission threat to Cruz (1 attempt in over 72 Octagon minutes), his opponents pass his guard 6(!) times more often than he passes theirs so what can he do even if he were to do what better wrestlers than him haven't been able to do and get Cruz on his back? But if Cruz gets him down, Demetrious has had his guard passed 21 times in the last 5 fights versus zero for Cruz. Demetrious has 46% TDD (Cruz is an almost double 83%) and Cruz's striking defense, combos, footwork, and variety of attacks are all huge leaps above Demetrious, as the fighters stand today.

I know Mighty Mouse arguably/probably deserves it after his questionable decision win over Torres but Cruz will win the takedown battle and ground positioning battle (if he wants it to be there) and he'll light him up like a Christmas tree on the feet.

I see nothing at all to make me think Mighty Mouse has more than a punchers chance a la Serra but I know he has the heart to go 25.

Long post, but the striking, takedowns, and guard passing stats may stick out to you more than you would've previously thought they would especially if you were to factor in level of competition as well.

And don't get me wrong, I'm a fan of both fighters as Demetrious is a big local fan favorite where I live; it's just a horrible horrible fight for him.
